• If you have trouble lifting your cordless blind:
If the blind is left in one position for a long period of time, it
might be necessary to lift and lower the shade several times to
restore normal function.
If the blind has been fully raised for a long period of time, it
might tend to spring-back (rebound) slightly from the desired
length position. This can also be remedied by lifting and
lowering the blind several times.
Step 7. Installing Hold Down Brackets
brackets should be used only if the blind is to be in a permanently
lowered position.
With the blind fully lowered, make pencil marks at the outside ends
of the bottom rail. The outside edge of each bracket should be
lined up to the pencil marks and screwed into place using the ½"
screws. Insert the pins protruding from the brackets into the holes
on both ends of the bottom rail (see illustration)
Cleaning your Blinds
Dusting: use a soft cloth, feather duster, cylindrical dust brushes
specifically designed for blinds or vacuum using the soft brush
attachment.
Washing: use a cloth, sponge or soft brush and a mild detergent.
Use warm or cold water, not hot water. Place toweling on the floor
and/or window sill and wash the blind in sections. Smaller blinds can
be washed in a sink or tub; blinds can also be gently hose washed
outdoors. Rinse off suds thoroughly. Drain the head rail and bottom
rail; remove end caps if necessary. Towel dry to avoid water marks.
To have your blinds cleaned professionally, check the local
telephone directory for a Venetian blind cleaning service or laundry.
Cloth tapes – spot clean with a fabric cleaner – test an
inconspicuous area (such as the back or bottom of the blind) before
proceeding
Polyester ladder tapes can be cleaned with distilled water and a
clean cloth.
